You know, like whatever dewd. I don't care becaue the game is designed and made for the PC first. So long as we don't have to play together because that would hobble PCs and they'd screw themselves out of all those PC players. I know why devs want to tap the console market but I don't know why you'd want to play an MMO on a console.Shit man, everyone's doing it anyway so it's just par for the course from this point forward. Isn't SWTOR coming to consoles at some point?

The amount of ads is insulting, and the layout is poorly ordered (why are Games so many tabs back? Why can't I easily sort Arcade?), but as a general layout I find it infinitely better than the Blades (which were like Fischer Price) and marginally better than the last one (which started off miserable but got an upgrade that fixed some of its errors after a few months.)

Push the games tab up. Add more to the games tab. Cut back on the ads (is it one per tab? That doesn't sound bad, but it feels like I'm constantly staring at ads, and I've barely touched the dash...)

Yep pretty much same way I feel about it. Other then the occasional racing game I barely turn the console on.I have some Microshaft points on my account, I'll just rent some movies to burn that off, and let my Live account die.I barely have time to play any games these days anyways.

Yeah the "new" dashboard looks like shit for sure. I still prefer the very first dashboard they had. Usually I do not look at the dash much and try to use the pop up menu as much as possible to navigate around.

FUCK. What a miserable POS this new dashboard is. It's like they hired some kid straight out of college with a BA in advertising. (if that even exists) It's such an offensive system to look at. Sharply contrasting images that don't relate to stuff right beside it, different sized windows smashed together with the important info pushed into smaller spaces that are a pain to read.

Then you have that top bar and pushs tons of useless junk between the useful panels. They've somehow managed to bring all the frustration of watching live TV with commercials into this fucking interface. Doing anything and everything forces you to see a barrage of info that, to add insult to injury, isn't easily processed so it just ends up looking like noise.

I've given sony a lot of shit for their interface but my god, WTF was microsoft doing when they tested this internally? Why would you make the boxes different sizes like this. It's so uncomfortable to jump between them trying to find what you need. (with your eyes, lets not even talk about moving the "cursor" around)

Eh What??? Jesus I did a double take there, read the article, seems like conjecture for the most part. Even ActiBlizz have refrained from bringing D3 to the consoles, although they did mention that a altered/seperate game is in the works for the archnemesis of the PC.
